Packard One Fifteen (1937)
for sale

Price: US $2,500.00

Description:

This is a solid, straight, rust-free, total matching numbers HPOF preservation Packard. Known History from new. Original 52K-miles, Original paint and interior. Excellent paperwork package, original keys & fob. This 1937 115 Touring Sedan was in dry, friendly-climate storage from 1961 until I purchased it 10 years ago from its second owner. Never offered for sale publicly since 1937.
It has always been well-cared-for. Never stored outside. Never wrecked. Never abused. It's one of those rare, honest, useful Pre-War Era blue-chip auto investments that your entire family can enjoy today.
Whether gliding silently through your neighborhood on a fall afternoon or touring on the open road, this roomy Packard Sedan runs and drives great. It has been meticulously serviced, fully sorted and is ready to drive anywhere or to show (or both). We've toured it extensively (even to Canada) with never a moment's trouble. It tracks nice & straight and is very agile. It has excellent brakes. Its fresh 6-volt battery immediately fires the engine, which holds excellent oil pressure & runs nice and cool. Excellent original honeycomb core radiator and excellent original wiring harness (thanks to decades of proper storage).
Fly in and drive it home with confidence.
This Packard is likely one of the very best-driving and fastest 115 Sedans in existence; it has a very strong engine, a butter-smooth transmission and Diamond Back Radial tires. With its high-speed rear axle it's as fast as a 120 and it’s a delight to drive at highway speeds.
The original Regatta Blue paint is patinated with many blemishes, but it's quite compelling as evidenced by the crowds of enthusiasts it draws (who walk past restored cars to examine this one). As illustrated by recent values of preservation cars, original paint is a rare and highly-prized feature on a 30's Packard. The original chrome and stainless are also presentable. The panel alignment and door & trunk shut is as new and the top insert is of the correct original Colonial Grain material. The original Riviera Tan Pinstripe interior is quite nice, plush and comfortable.
A well-accessorized Packard, it features its original factory Packard Deluxe Heater / Defroster, DeLuxe wheel trim rings, a DeLuxe Goddess hood ornament, fender skirts, carpeted package tray and a dash clock. Additionally, I’ve added a 6v Alternator (for nice bright lights and long battery life -- original generator included of course), a master battery shut-off switch and a driver-controlled auxiliary elect fuel pump for easy start-up from storage
